Pelican Seafood Market & Grill, Seafood restaurant and market in Ottawa, Canada.
Pelican Seafood Market is a seafood restaurant with an attached retail fish counter in Ottawa where visitors choose fresh fish and shellfish directly from the display. The in-house kitchen prepares selected items to order or customers can buy them raw to take home.
The establishment started as a local fish market and later expanded to include a restaurant section serving prepared seafood dishes. This growth allowed it to serve customers in different ways depending on their needs.
The restaurant supports Canadian fishing communities by sourcing products directly from coastal fisheries, maintaining relationships that shape what is available daily. These connections influence both the market selection and the dishes served.
Visitors can select fresh seafood at the counter and either have it prepared right away or take it home raw to cook themselves. It helps to arrive early since popular selections sell out quickly.
The restaurant maintains separate preparation areas for retail sales and restaurant service, allowing specialized handling of seafood for each operation. This separation ensures each type of product receives optimal care.
